More testing is what the players decided was the best course, he said.

"We had a lot of of discussions in the meeting in San Diego in the offseason," Wilson said. "We had a hundred players in a room talking about it. The solution would be what's right for the game. The conclusion we came to is, the No. 1 deterrent is getting tested more often. Significantly."

The Angels' No. 2 starter said he believes "the game is significantly cleaner than it was 15 years ago" when he signed his first contract.
